PURE ESSENCE OF HEIGHT

Calm accompanies the birth of our most generous wine. For 24 months it rests on the veins of the best French oak. And this is how it is raised and obtains its characteristic color, its spices, its fruit trees, the subtle nuances of the earth and that acidity so typical of high altitude wines. A high altitude wine, of course, not only because of its elaboration, but also because of the ten international mentions that guarantee the quality of our Reserve. Among them, the 94 points awarded by the prestigious British Master of Wine Tim Atkins. Dominio Basconcillos Viña Magna Reserva is also the perfect table companion for any occasion: game, grilled meats, select cheeses ... its flavor gives long life and you would like it to never end.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VINTAGE
The abundant rainfall in winter and spring, registering maximums in recent years, allowed the vineyard to accumulate optimal water reserves to face the hot and dry summer. All this defined a wine with a very marked fruit potential, with black fruits and a fine and elegant palate.
PREPARATION AND AGEING
Manual harvest in 12 kilo boxes. Grapes selected from the oldest vineyards and very low productions. With double selection of bunches, in the field and at the reception with a selection table. Gravity production to preserve all its organoleptic properties as much as possible. Spontaneous fermentation (without commercial yeasts) and with controlled temperatures. Malolactic fermentation and aging for 27 months in new French oak barrels.
TASTING NOTE
Appearance: Intense garnet color almost black with brighter cherry tones.
Nose: Pronounced, bold and concentrated nose. Upon opening the bottle, a fragrance of blueberry and black cherry appears, with a touch of spicy, herbal and mineral notes.
Palate: Well balanced and an excellent vintage. Fresh acidity, flavors of black cherry and sweet vanilla, wrapped in polished, ripe tannins. It has great aging potential over the next 10 - 15 years.
PAIRING
It is the perfect companion to a good piece of stewed game (roe deer, wild boar, venison), roast lamb or grilled chops. For cheese lovers, here they have something to share with a good board of the most select ones.
It is recommended to uncork 30 minutes before serving at a temperature between 15 and 18ºC.
